Rekindling love for paints and brushes

During the pandemic, Ryan Cayabyab revisited an old love in painting when he grew curious about acrylic as a medium. His re-encounter with brushes brought back memories of his teenage years when he joined - and won - the YMCA National Art Competition in Manila, as well as the rare times that he was able to do sketches and doodles in between music gigs.
